So apparently Battlefield 2142 came back...

I know it's been like, five or six years since I've been on here, but I've come back bearing good news! Battlefield 2142 is back! Thanks to some community members, they managed to get it working without the main master server from Gamespy.

We'd have to privately host a server, yeah, and advertise for it. This month has kind of burnt me out of cash though and it's only just begun.

It might be my raging nostalgia, but I feel like this version of battlefield stressed teamwork more than any that followed. That's why I love it (and the sci-fi setting). Some combination of the super short time to kill, interface design, available unlocks, and squad leader role. First game I played with TG!

2142 always had the right mix for me. Great teamwork. Coordination through a commander. Scifi, but not over the top. Good time-to-kill. No insta-knife or auto heal. No stupid doritos floating over their heads. ~30m round times. It just clicked with me like no other shooter has since.

Shotgun!.....or the hmg! Either way, if we do it after my semester here I am in! God I do miss those days though, Having to try too tactically sneak on by your enemy; the constant failures to do so because TG was way to awesome at catching you and then the thrill of finally making by and capturing a flag and starting a new front somewhere! Eventually you either won, lost or got whittled down and have to start over again, but that was the thrill!

I was always about the engineer class with that nice railgun launcher. I might be able to have a friend do the server for tg. He hosts a lot of games that I play, 7 Days to Die, Factorio, Space Engineers, Empyrion - Galactic Survival, Feed the Beast Minecraft, Project Zomboid, & Astroneer. If you want I can ask him about it. You can hit me up on steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Vitamin187/
